You know... or could at least assume... that we love Doxies. Now, of course, we are a little biased... but Marvin needs us. It is a sad story and very difficult to look at the pictures... but Mom says it's important for us to share his story. It is just another example of how us dogs are really at the mercy of our owners.

We live in our own little world... a world where we are loved, fed, and cared for. We have a roof over our head, a bed to sleep in, food to eat, and people to love us. We are treated with loyalty, love, and respect. Decisions are made for us with our best interest in mind and at heart. We matter. We know that we matter.

Not all of our kind are blessed to know this life. Not all are blessed to be loved, fed, and housed in a home where they are cared for. That just isn't right. Sometimes we forget this. We forget that there are others who need our help and support.

Today we were reminded of that. We were on facebook and saw Noahs Arks post about Spirit. It breaks our hearts that people would treat an animal like this. An animal who only wants to be loved and cared for. An animal who deserves the lives so many of us enjoy and take forgranted every single day.

Today we are not taking it forgranted. We are grateful and we want to express our outrage at the way Spirit was treated and our gratitude for the people who are doing something about it. Thank you, Noahs Arks rescue.

Blog the Change. We demand change. (And, we are used to getting what we want.)

Our parents are what you call "Weekend Warriors." They pick a project every couple of weeks to do in our house. Then, they tear the house apart, do whatever the project is, and put it back a different way. It's enough to make your head spin!!

Anyhow, here we are supervising the painting of our bedroom.

Here's a before and after for ya:

(before... excuse the bed not being made)

after (not so true to color)

after (a bit more true to color. The color is called "Teal Zeal.")

They also moved the guest room to the upstairs room in our house since we can't go in that room anyhow they decided it was a "better use of space" (as Mom says).

What we know about love is:
Love is breakfast right on time in the morning.
Love is dinner with something extra yummy on top.
Love is a nice cuddle before bed and then sleeping right up close to your person all night long.
Love is a warm blanket on the couch just for you.
Love is someone happy to see you when they get home.
Love is when someone makes squealy noises when they see you after they've been gone.
Love is a great big hug.
Love is someone to run to.
Love is someone to run with.
Love is someone who knows what you want without you even having to say one word.
Love is something awesome.
